Michael Cohen Can’t Stop Livestreaming on TikTok
WiredLast week, President Joe Biden signed a law that could ban TikTok. Michael Cohen—Donald Trump’s ex-fixer and star witness in the former president’s hush money trial—is using the app in a big way, and it’s all about Trump’s trial and how Cohen is seizing the moment. For the past few weeks, my For You Page has consistently served me the “Michael Cohen Live Show,” Cohen’s 10 pm ET livestream where he invites fans, impressionists, and even Rosie O’Donnell to take jabs at Trump as the Trump trial heats up. But it’s TikTok where he’s been cashing in recently: Nearly 300,000 users follow Cohen on TikTok, and thousands of people watch his nightly streams; at least one of these shows received a million likes. “I created the ‘Michael Cohen Live Show’ because I was bored after watching everything on streaming that interested me,” Cohen said in a text message to me on Wednesday.
